I just found this news story online. (Apparently, you can find the original here, but I didn't see it in the first few minutes of searching.) This copy is from the AP.
Robber loses wallet, then asks victim to return it
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Police said a would-be robber was in jail after losing his wallet during the attempted robbery then phoning the victim and asking for it to be returned. Little Rock police said the 23-year-old man was arrested on robbery charges Tuesday.
Police said the man tried to rob a man at gunpoint at his home but fled and dropped his wallet then later called and told the man to return the wallet at a service station in North Little Rock.
Little Rock police were interviewing the victim when the call came and notified North Little Rock police who found the suspect outside the service station and arrested him after a short foot chase.
What I'm wondering is, why didn't the robber return and steal his wallet back? He didn't bother to ask for something that wasn't his in the first place. Why ask for something that is? If I were an Arkansas tax payer, I wouldn't be happy that my tax money was being spent on him! ;)
